Electron and Muon production cross-sections in quasielastic ν(ν)-Nucleus scattering for Eν < 1GeV

In this paper, we have studied (anti)neutrino induced charged current quasielastic (CCQE) scattering from some nuclear targets in the energy region of [Formula: see text]. Our aim is to confront electron and muon production cross-sections relevant for [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] oscillation experiments. The effects due to lepton mass and its kinematic implications, radiative corrections, second class currents (SCCs) and uncertainties in the axial and pseudoscalar form factors are calculated for (anti)neutrino induced reaction cross-sections on free nucleon as well as the nucleons bound in a nucleus where nuclear medium effects influence the cross-section. For the nuclear medium effects, we have taken some versions of Fermi gas model (FGM) available in the literature. The results for (anti)neutrino–nucleus scattering cross-section per interacting nucleons are compared with the corresponding results in free nucleon case.
